I went on a Beat Takeshi frenzy a decade or so ago. Sonatine and Scenes at the Sea would be my top picks. His gangster movies feel very classical Japanese drama and hardboiled at the same time, and not so Hong Konginized as some other Japanese gangster movies I've seen. Great filmmaker
ive been in love with takashis work ever since i saw battle royale when i was about 8 or 9. but still everytime i watch one of these analysis videos, it just baffles me how wide the range of this guy is he made some of the greatest movies, and a whack as hell videogame. and freeking takashis castle i dunno how he does it but i love it great video by the way
Takeshi Kitano’s directing and acting combined with Joe Hisaishi’s score leave such a deep and unsettling impression. The movie is compelling. The juxtaposition of their childlike beach exile to the mundane violence that underlies their lives almost makes the beach scenes unbearable. The viewer knows what’s coming. The characters know what’s coming. Everyone’s feeling dread during the happiest moments of this movie. That’s how you know Takeshi Kirano did his job.
I feel the napoleon fish is more about how yakuza at that point were a dying breed. They used to be everywhere in Japan and, of course, were seen as not good for society.
I'm a simple man. When I see Takeshi Kitano in a thumbnail, I click on the video. I really loved that movie 'Brother' Seeing a gangster film like that as a teenager in the early 2000's while playing GTA games had quite an impact on me.
We get so busy trying to one-up each other with moralism's, we often forget that a lot of what we assume and pretend is basic human nature, is often learned behavior. And very culture reliant. Empathy and a dislike for violence are aome of those things. Children only need to be taught to hate in the abstract sense, they very easily understand what it is to be wronged. And a sense of justice, that is, vengeance, comes very naturally. Something to consider.
Sure thing! The songs I used are: Between the Spaces - The Soundlings, and then Videodrome - National Sweetheart and then it goes back to between the spaces towards the end

Alain Delon was not the director of Le Samurai, he stared in it. Jean-Pierre Melville directed Le Samurai.
Oops thats a good catch, thanks for catching the mistake in my script!
I’ve always been aware of the space between violence
I grew up in a rough environment.
I’ve always had to be aware of it 👏🏿📿
🙏
My favorite movie since i was younger. Hana-Bi is another great one of his and violent cop is really good too

Wow ... was completely unaware of this film. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

That’s a profound observation

Can I get a soundtrack list for your video please?
Sure thing! The songs I used are:
Between the Spaces - The Soundlings, and then
Videodrome - National Sweetheart
and then it goes back to between the spaces towards the end
Beat Takeshi is a mix of Robin Williams and Nicolas Cage.
Yu guys just now getting hip to Takeshi Kitano 😂😂😂😂
Great review. Would love to have you review my movie Always Smile. Let me know if you’re interested
Fireworks is the best
